"It's a beautiful day!"


Father Joe Nolan
__________


A simple quote with great meaning!  


We celebrated my Uncle Joe's 90th Birthday and 65th anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood on Sunday.  It was quite a party as we celebrated at Belmont Park Race Track and had a race named in his named in his honor (The Joralemon Street Gallup ~ he was born on Joralemon Street in Brooklyn). The quote is the way he began all his homilies.

Live Everything

"I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. 

Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. 

And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer." 

Rainer Maria Rilke

It is graduation month in the US and it marks a big step in a student's life. This week's quote is an excerpt from a Commencement Speech given by Dr. Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was told in Aug 2007 that he only had 3-6 months to live. When he gave this speech at Carnegie Mellon, it was the 9th month (May 2008). He later passed away 2 months after that.

“We don’t beat the reaper by living longer. We beat the reaper by living well and living fully. For the reaper is always going to come for all of us. The question is: What do we do between the time we are born, and the time he shows up? Because when he shows up, it’s too late to do all the things that you’re always gona, kinda get around to.”

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?  Or, do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? If so, then this week's quote is for you!!!! 


It is part of the lyrics of one of my favorite jogging songs and it helps me from feeling like a waste of space and reminds me that I am an original, that cannot be replaced!!

"You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July'
Cause baby you're a firework


Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky


Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down


Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through"


Katy Perry; "Firework"

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart

Welcome to the Quote of the Week!  Your presence, exactly as is at this very moment, is greatly appreciated. Come on in and enjoy this week's quotes!
__________

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful,
the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds
and their feet on the ground.  Walk with those who have ideals,
with zest to help and lift, to create and contribute.
Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better
than when you found it. . . . Associate with the creative people
wherever you find them.  Make friends with them, go where they are,
talk with them, listen to them, be open and receptive to them,
let them inspire you.  Catch their attitudes, their way of thinking and living.

Wilferd A. Peterson

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
To allow my living to open me,
To make me less afraid,
More accessible.

To loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
To live so that which came to me as seed
goes on to the next as blossom
And that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

I hope you don't mind but this week's quote comes to you from Geneva Switzerland! As a matter of fact, that is also the theme of this week's quotes ~ The Mind!! Enjoy!!

__________

“Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.”

Hello everybody and Welcome to the Quote of the Week!!! What is your definition of happiness? Famed movie director, Alfred Hitchcock knew and that is this week's quote! Enjoy!__________

"A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are creative and not destructive… I can’t bear quarreling, I can’t bear feelings between people — I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word, said by a person, say, who has a temper, if they’re close for me, hurts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to create something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be.”

If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else."

Welcome to the Quote of the Week. The BEST day, year and vitamin is the theme for this week's quotes. Enjoy!
__________

“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

A Quote of the Week Recycled Classic...

"The best year of our lives is not made up of days or weeks or months. It is made up of moments. Moments when we allow our separateness to melt away so we can be truly intimate with another; moments when we take a risk and express our love in an unexpected way; moments when we choose forgiveness over resentment; moments when we appreciate the perfection of where we are and who we are with. These are the moments that bring meaning to our lives and joy to our hearts."

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly spiritual snack for mind, body & soul. After a While is the theme for this week's quote (a poem really) but for me after reading it, it probably should be named After a Long, Long, Long While.
__________

After a While

After a while you learn the difference,
Subtle difference,
Between holding a hand and
Chaining a soul.

You learn that love
Doesn’t mean leaning and
Company doesn’t mean security.

You begin to learn
That kisses aren’t contracts and
Presents aren’t promises.

You begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of an adult,
Not the grief of a child.

You learn to build
All your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground
Is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns
If you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and
Decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.

You learn
That you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
You really do have worth

Good Morning New and Old members of the Quote of the Week! It is now time to leave your world of tension, anxiety and doubt. So please sit back, slow down your pulse, and tune into this week's quote!
_________

"You think this is just another day in your life. It’s not just another day — it’s the one day that is given to you, today. It’s given to you, it’s a gift. It’s the only gift that you have right now, and the only appropriate response is gratefulness. If you do nothing else but to cultivate that response to the great gift that this unique day is, if you learn to respond as if it were the first day in your life, and the very last day, then you would have spent this day very well.”
